Questions about Clomid

Hi Guys

Im so sorry Bec to hear about your miscarriage, god only knows what you guys must be going through & I really feel for you & im sure I speak for everyone here when I say we would all like to be able to give you a big hug:grouphug:. I must say you have a great attitude though & you are doing the right thing & I feel that in most cases having that attitude can make all the difference to the outcome so as difficult as it has been for you, try to stay positive & im sure it will all work out in the end. You and Stejen are right though, at least it worked for you, it took me 4 rounds before it even made me ovulate so that really is a great start & hopefully this round is the charm for you.

Stejen - How is everything going with you, any new news?

Hello Ladies!!! Well...my husband and I went away this weekend to celebrate our five year anniversary, and it was a welcome distraction during the two week wait. Today I am 10 DPO. I had a first response pregnancy test in my drawer, but I only had one, so my plan was to wait until at least 14 DPO. I just didn't want to see the BFN.

Anyway...I have had it on my mind a lot today, and running web site searches to see how many woman get a BFP at 10 DPO. I know it's a long shot, and most women don't get it that early, but I went to PeeOnAStick.com and looked at the positive first response tests from 10 DPO. My husband left to go visit with his grandpa, so while he was gone I decidedv to just take the test to get it out of the house...then I would wait until 14 DPO to get a new test if AF hadn't shown.

My husband called and while I was on the phone with him I walked into the bathroom to grab the test and throw it away...honestly I wasn't even considering it would be good news...I was in mid-sentence talking to him when I completely froze...there it was...a BFP!!!!!!

I just went completely silent and then said..."Oh my God! I think I'm pregnant!!" I wanted Steve to get home as soon as he could to verify that there is a line there. It's very faint, but definitely there, and I don't have to hold it up to the light to see it or anything. He got home and I handed him the test...he said there is most definitely a line!! I keep checking it over and over again...and yes, there is a line!! It's faint, but it's a line, and it matches the positive results on PeeOnAStick.com. I showed those pictures to Steve and he said "Yep, that's what yours looks like!!"

Now I am completely freaking out....I'm just praying it sticks...hopefully testing this early and getting a positive means my levels are high, but I'm not sure...it's really scary to finally see that pink line, but know how early on it is and the chances are good that something could happen. Before Steve even got home to verify it I got down on my knees and prayed that this will be it for us!!

My plan now is to get a couple more tests and test tomorrow morning with FMU. If they are positive then I will call my doctor to let her know...

I know my eyes are not tricking me this time...there is most definitely a line, and thank goodness my husband sees it too...he saw it right away!! He said, "Does it count if its that light?" and I said..."A line is a line!"

Well ladies, what a five year anniversary gift...I just pray it sticks!!! :pray::pray:

Well I had to add another post...Steve and I just went to the grocery store and I bought another box of First Response Early Result, and also the digital first response. I dipped one of each into the same urine sample. The First Response Early Result definitely had a second line...still faint, but definitely there. I don't have to hold it up to the light or anything to see it...it's there.

The digital came up as "No -" however I broke it open to see the inside and there was definitely a second line. This was still faint, but actually darker then the other two!!! I have three faint, but DEFINITELY there, BFPs sitting on my table as we speak....I am going to wait to take the other two that I have left on Wednesday morning to give my levels time to increase...this is gonna be a long few days/weeks, but I can't help but feel elated (and terrified) for the moment!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Stejan- THAT IS AWESOME!!!!! I'm praying for you too:pray:, a positive line is a positive line. Keep us posted and Good luck!!:clap:

Bec

Bec - Thank you!!

Today is 11 DPO and I took another test this morning. Still a faint BFP, but a bit darker then yesterday. I have a message in to my doctor to see what the next steps are...I'm sure I need to confirm with a blood test.

I will keep you all posted!

I now know what women mean when they call themselves a POAS addict...that's me!! I took a dollar store test on my lunch break and a very faint line still...I just got home from work and took my last digital test and..."yes+"!!! Yay the digital is detecting it now...plus I had three bottles of water at work!! This is sooooo exciting and sooo scary. I'm so afraid that it's too early and is going to be a chemical pregnancy or end in a miscarriage...

But I'm trying not to focus on my fears and focus on my happiness! My doctor is out of the office for the next day, but will call in to have me get some bloodwork done when she returns...

Hmmmmm...even after the BFP it still feels like a waiting game!!

Oh my god im soooo excited for you Stejen, that is the most fantastic news & you guys must be so happy? :leap: So have you got the bloodwork done yet? I hate to tell you but the waiting game never ends, first it's waiting for a period to take the clomid, then it's waiting to see if the clomids worked, & then you are waiting for either another period or to take a test & then it's waiting for the doctor to confirm it with blood tests & then waiting until your 12 weeks so that the chance of miscarriage is less & then waiting for the down syndrome results to come back & then waiting until your 18 - 20 week scan & then waiting for the first kicks & then waiting until you are past the 24 week mark where bub becomes viable etc & the list goes on! I say enjoy every minute of that waiting as it's the most exciting time in your life & it will all be over very soon & then you'll have your child in your arms & all that waiting is worth it. Congratulations & good luck with the doctors results.


Bec - How are you doing, any news?

Hi girls!
Stejan- great to hear things are still travelling nicely! Can't wait to hear how you go with the doc.

Kell- I know what you mean with all the waiting! But it's worth it in the end.

AFM- I'm pretty good at the moment. CD8 (4th clomid day) and so far no side effects at all! After last time I was expecting the worst, but I'm pretty good so far. Hopefully it works...

Stay well guys,
Bec

Hey guys,

Stejen- Conrgats to you and your hubby so so so exciting, how many rounds of clomid did it take???

AFM- i am still plodding along hopeing that my third round of clomid has worked. I have stopped taking my temp and stopped useing the Maybe Baby i think i was annaliseing it all to much. I am still seeing my accupuncture guy think he is helping alot:). I have been feeling abit flatt and very tired this week not to sure why maybe its the clomid who knows. I have been getting pain sort of like period pain ova the past week off and on. So i am not to sure what is going on i am feeling abit emotional about the whole thing :(
My hubby and i are going away for the long weekend i think it is well diserved break.. I will let you know how i go over the next few weeks.

Bec- how is everything going with you ???

Kell- I bet your belly is looking big now :)

Thanks everyone for the congrats! I am 4 weeks 2 days today, and I'm soooo completely nervous. I'm trying not to be stressed and trying to just enjoy this feeling. I go for my bloodwork tomorrow, then I have to repeat it 48 hours later...so we'll see!

Last night I started experiencing some lower back pain. It was pretty bad, and today it's still there just a little, and I sort of feel like my period is coming on. Kel, didn't this happen to you? How long did the feeling like you were going to start last? Did you ever have any spotting? It's just so weird to have numerous positive pregnancy tests, but still feel like AF is about to come!

I took another test last night mostly because I had been getting faint lines on all the tests and wanted to see if it was darker. It was definitely positive and definitely a dark line...so I guess that means my hcg levels are increasing! I just want to get the bloodwork back and see that everything is where it should be at this point. This back pain and slight cramping has got me worried...but so far no spotting or anything...

Nicole - This was my second round...pretty lucky I know...but I will say that my doc started me on 100mg the first round, then moved me to 150mg on this round, so I started a little higher then most do!

I forgot to mention that I'm CD31 and according to FF 14DPO and my temps are still high...so that's a good sign!

Hi ladies!! How is everyone doing?? Just thought we should get some updates on here!

AFM - I got my blood drawn yesterday for my first beta test, and go back tomorrow morning to see if it has increased/doubled. I don't know what the first level was since I did it on a Saturday and they are closed today...Darn!! I guess I will get both levels at once from my doctor.

On the plus side I took a test at 14DPO and got a dark line and then again today at 16 DPO and got an even darker and thicker line (right after I drank a bottle of water)...so I think that's a good thing!! I'll keep you all posted when I get my levels back.

We haven't told any of our family yet. I have told a couple people at work, but I really don't want my family to get their hopes up and have something happen. My husband's grandma is going through chemo right now so I really really don't want to get his mother really excited then have her have to deal with that disappointment if something happens. After I get my levels from my doctor they are going to make an appointment for me, but I don't know when that will be yet (probably 8-10 weeks). We decided we won't tell them until we see cardiac activity. The waiting is hard...but it's also kind of nice to share this wonderful secret with each other!!

Well I hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hi Guys

Stejen - Im just sooo happy for you & just wanted to say don't dread that feeling that your period is going to start because that's exactly how it feels in the early stages of pregnancy! I had the pains in my lower stomach & pains in my lower back etc exactly like I always did when I got my period & I assumed that's what was happening but no it was pregnancy itself, apparently most woman feel the same symptoms of a period at the time when their period would normally come, so you may feel it at 8 weeks & 12 weeks etc. Try & enjoy that feeling, I know it's hard not to worry as I also did but it will be better for your's & bubs health if you are relaxed. Definately push for an early ultrasound if you are feeling anxious, it will be an internal one but it's no worse than a pap smear & it will put your mind at ease once you hear the heart rate, which you can do from 6 weeks onwards usually, although it won't look like a baby at that stage but it's worth it.

Nicole - What day are you on at the moment & what dose of clomid are you on this round? Getting away is a great idea, it's nice to have some time alone & also to have something to distract you thinking about it all, I did the same thing with my hubby & got pregnant that same round & believe that happened because I was so relaxed & also id been doing accupuncture & naturopathy too which I think was fabulous. To answer your question my belly certainly is getting large, I feel HUGE at the moment & I swear im bigger than most but I probably look worse as im only 5 foot 2 inches & was 55 kgs before, hehe.:bellygrowing: Keep us up to date on how you are going & good luck!

Bec - Fingers crossed with the clomid, it's great that you seem to be feeling ok on it this round. I found that the higher the dose the less side effects I got so hopefully the same happens for you. What else is news?

Hey Kell,

Well my weekend away for my birthday was nice however i wasnt feeling the best so it was hard to enjoy it that much . My dr has me on 150mg this round and i am not sure what day i am on i took my first tab 2 weeks ago so i guess i should be "o" now (if it worked). I have been having alot of pain on my ovary area over the past few days :( i am hoping i am not getting more cysts :( i am going to make a appt with my dr first thing tomorrow something isnt right. Wish me luck i will keep you all informed

All the best to you all.

Kel - Thanks for the input!! That was good to hear, and luckily the cramps/af pains have subsided. So far I have just been extremely tired and hungry!! I should get my two beta levels tomorrow.

Nicole - Let us know when you hear!! You are definitely in my prayers!

Nicole - I hope you are feeling a little better than yesterday? Are you sure that your pain around your ovary area isn't ovulation pain, because I know a few of my friends suffer from that & sometimes our ovaries are ultra stimulated from the clomid especially a larger dose like 150mg so it may be exagerating the pain if it's around you ovulation time? Fingers crossed that's what it is:crossfingers:. Did you manage to get into your doctors today & if so please let us know how you went, sending you out a big hug :hug:.

Stejen - Ooh yes the hunger, that one I do certainly know about hehe. I remember being starving constantly in the first trimester & im usually a light eater & you couldn't fill me up! Unfortunately that doesn't really subside at all except you will find that as your tummy grows you won't be able to fit as much in due to bub squashing your stomach, well not without feeling revolting afterwards anyway, not that it seems to stop me haha. I think the tiredness is the one thing I found the hardest to deal with, there will be times when you feel like you could crawl under the desk & go to sleep & just walking up stairs will make you out of breath but it's all worth it! I just hope that you don't get morning sickness like I didn't:pray:. Let me know how the results come back but id say it's a definate?

hi girls!
Stejan- great to hear your HCG levels look like they are on the up! That's awesome. Just sit back and relax, all will be fine. good luck with your test results.

Nic- sorry to hear you are feeling unwell. Do you think you've been putting too much pressure on yourself? I get so down during my cycle thinking "I'm never going to get UTD...", and it makes me feel horrible. I had aweful pain when I ovulated last month, and it lasted for days. It might be that, but it's well worth getting checked if you are worried. Hope it all goes well.

kel- you're well and truly over the middle weeks and on the home stretch. I'll bet you can't wait to meet your bubs!

AFM- I'm CD 12 today and I have my scan to check for follies on Friday morning, so fingers crossed the clomid has worked this round! I'm feeling a bit under the weather, I think I caught a cold from my 2 year old (little devil coughed in my face yesterday...). I am being as optimistic as I can, but after last month, I have to admit I'm a little apprehensive. I'm also flat out with reports (I'm a Prep teacher), but at least it keeps my mind off things. I'll let you know how I go Friday, but have a good weekend if I don;t write till then.

Talk soon,
bec
P.S. I just found out my step sister is taking clomid too (TTC #2 also) and we are cycling on the same day! Cool, hey?

Nicole - How are things going with you? Are you feeling any better?

Bec - Good luck with your scan...let us know how it goes!!

Kel - I too am hoping that I don't have the morning sickness!! So far so good, but it's still a bit early (I'm five weeks tomorrow!)

AFM - I just got my beta levels back - 1st one was 261 and 48 hours later it was 655 so it doubled and then some!! Things are looking good so far...no spotting or bleeding, and no more cramps. I have an ultrasound scheduled for June 24th and I absolutely cannot wait! I will be 8 weeks then! :dance:

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all ur support :) But i am not feeling much better. I have had all week off work this week (only work part time). Yeah i went to the dr on tuesday but i saw a different dr my dr was on holidays, he was useless felt like a piece of **** he gave me a referral to get an ultra sound but i couldn't get in unlit the 9th june i was so upset very emotional actually. So mum and i went up to emergency on wednesday we were there aaaallllllll day but i got a scan in the end and its weird i had a 2cm cyst on my left and a 2.5cm cyst on my right the dr said that is quiet normal for any women to have. I told him i finished taking the clomid about a week and a half ago and he laughed and said well there is your answer hrrrmmmm didnt make me feel any better :( It just keeps getting weirder i was still quiet saw on wednesday night and i woke up on thursday with no pain at all. I am hoping this is a good sign that i "o" but to tell u the truth i have been feeling pritty down the past few days (not really in the mood if u know what i mean). I have a bit of a niggle on my right side tonight but nothing to bad. I dont know what all the signs of "o" (i hv given up looking for them) but i have had the sorest nipples sorry but i just have no idea what is going on (they feel brused). Well thats all thats been happening with me..... All abit confussing i know :(

If anyone has any words of wisdom please let me know caus i am at a loss right now :(

oxox nic oxox

Nic, you poor thing! There is nothing worse than knowing something is wrong and having noone listen to you, especially a doctor. I hope you did 'o' and all will be well. I always get really sore BB's when I o.

Stejan, hope you're well and can't wait to hear how that scan goes!

Kell, hope you're well too and you aren't feeling too tired!

AFM- I had my scan on Friday and no mature follies, only small ones. That was CD15, so maybe the clomid hasn't worked this month. Is it possible for 50mg to work last month and not this month? I don;t know. I have another scan on Tuesday CD19, which seems too late for follies to develop. I plan to have next month of if this month didn;t get a BFP, but if I don;t ovulate, maybe I'll give it a go.

Stay well,
Bec

Hi Guys

Well feeling alittle better today pain pritty much gone just feel alittle off it you know what i mean. I been feeling abit up and down with my emotions very snappy (i try to stop myself from snapping at my DH poor thing). I still have very sore BB's kinda annoying but i guess its agood thing i am hoping something wonderful is happening ("O") but i am trying not to think to much into it :) i go for my follow up scan and my 'O' blood test on tuesday so fingers crossed . :) :) :)

I hope all is well . i will keep u all informed :)

oxoxox nic oxoxox

Bec - I have heard of some people having clomid work one month, but not the next. Maybe it might be a good idea to go ahead and get your dosage increased from 50mg...Especially considering that is the smallest dose. Maybe that would help!

Nicole - Very glad to hear you are feeling better! I think the sore bbs could definitely be a sign of "O". My first month on Clomid I know mine were sooooo sore. More sore then they had ever been before and I really thought I was pregnant because they had never been so sore. Then AF came so I guess that pain was just because I did "O". I remember it lasted almost 2 weeks!!

AFM - Things are still going well. I actually got my scan moved up to June 16th because I want to be able to tell my family on Father's Day, but I don't want to tell them before I have a scan. I have been feeling well though, just tired and hungry still. Also my BBs are so extremely sore. I thought the 1st time I took clomid they were the most sore they have ever been, but now they hurt really bad. I have actually had to start sleeping in a sports bra because the pain has been waking me up at night. They are also getting much bigger which I am sure is part of the pain!! It's definitely worth it though...I just think it is amazing that I am already feeling so many changes in my body this early in the pregnancy!

HI GUYS

Well OMG i went to the DRS yesterday and the first thing he said to me was are u pregnant:). I was like i have know idea that is why i am here lol I asked why he said that and he told me that my levels were VERY high (cant remember what the hormones are called) but the first one last month was 4 and this month is was 71 and the other last month was 170 and this month it is 1500. He said your eitther UTD of u have "o" 2 eggs either was its so exciting. Although i am trying not to get to excited but i just cant help it . I am due for AF on sunday so my fingers are crossed i dont get it lol .My hubby is so excited too he wants me to POAS tomorrow lol which i still might do lol. I will be sure to keep u informed.

How is everyone going the month anyway ???

oxoxox nic oxoox :) :) :)

Nicole - YAYYYYYYYY!!! That is really exciting. I think you should POAS tomorrow...if your levels are that high then it should be a positive result. If you do though, just be prepared that it might still be too early; however, like I said, if you levels are that high then I would think you'd get a good result!! I got my faint BFP on 10DPO so it isn't out of the question!! Let us know!!! I can't wait to hear!!!! :pray:

Well Guys

I POAS this morning and yep u guessed it the was i faint line , not a are my eyes playing tricks on me line cause it was darkish and i showed my hubby and my sister :) . I am so excited i am going to do another test in a few days to see if it gets darker. I can hardly believe it hey i dont know what to think or what to do aaaahhhhhhh. I will let u know how i go POAS in a few days lol :) :) :) :) :)

Hey Guys

Nicole - OMG OMG, im sooooo excited for you! So did you do another test yesterday as that was the day you were due for AF wasn't it, you must tell us asap as that is extremely exciting news? Your husband sounds really cute, the experience is so much nicer when they also get really excited. Hope everything went well with the testing then, hopefully we hear from you soon? :dance:

Stejen - How are you feeling, is everything progressing nicely so far? I hope you aren't suffering from morning sickness. Your scan is tomorrow isn't it, I bet you are really excited & you should be as it's an incredible feeling seeing your baby on the screen, although also very surreal so enjoy & let us know how it goes? :thumbsup:

Bec - How is everything doing with you? Have you found out yet whether you "O" or not this month because I know you were asking if the clomid could work one month & then not the next? Have you talked to your doctor about increasing the dose for your next round? Well I hope you are well & good luck. :crossfingers:

As for me, all is going well so far, I had my 20 week scan a few weeks ago & everything looks normal from what they can see on the ultrasound & peanut's growth has been really good. It was really nice to see bub though again after so long & it's really cute at this stage. Im now 23.5 weeks along & getting heaps of kicks & movement which is the best part, can't wait until you guys all get to feel it too!

Hey Guys

Well yes I did a test yesterday at lunch and the line was darker then the day B4 , and i couldnt help my self i did another one this morning and WOW it was very dark lol its amazing the darkness of the line in just a few days :) :) ;) We are so excited. I made an appt for friday to see my Dr i really want him to confirm my results ....I will be sure to keep u informed :) :) :) :)

oxoxo NICOLE ooxoxoxo

Nicole - That is awesome...and don't worry, I POAS like 14 times after I got the first BFP...I just kept wanting to make sure it was still there!! Once I got my blood results back I quit testing.

Kel - I'm glad your scan went well. I'm sure it's really exciting to be that far along and feel the baby! Right now I actually sometimes forget about it, then all of the sudden it hits me that I am pregnant. Soon enough I will have a belly that will remind me everyday!!

Bec - How are things with you??

AFM - I go for my scan tomorrow, and I cannot wait. If everything is normal we are planning on telling our families this weekend! That will be very exciting, and such a relief! Also, I have been feeling pretty terrible. I hit the six week mark and have felt sick ever since....definitely not fun, and I think the weight I have gained with my increased appetite since I got pregnant will now disappear. I am having to force myself to eat meals as nothing sounds good, and I always feel nauseous...I thought I was gonna be one of the lucky ones without the morning sickness, but no such luck!! It's definitely worth it though!

Stejen - Well I hope that your morning sickness clears up soon but you are right it's definately worth it! Believe me you will have the belly sooner rather than later & then you might be wishing you were smaller again hehe, mine feels huge & it's certainlt taking some getting used to but im sure ill miss it when it's gone. How did your scan go, how exciting is it?

Nicole - It certainly sounds like it's a definate for you guys, that is just sooo exciting & im really happy for you, good luck with the blood test Friday although I don't think you need it;)

Hi girls,
Sorry, sorry, I've been flat out writing school reports!
Goodness now I'm the only one NOT pregnant...

Nic- THAT IT GREAT! I can't wait to hear how everything goes. It was funny...I was just reading through all of your posts and I thought "I wonder if she's already pregnant?" The snappiness, moodiness. Woohoo!

Stejan- I'm wrapped everything is still going well. Let us know how your scan goes tomorrow.

Kell- How exciting is the 20 week scan? I'm so glad everything went well.

AFM- Well! On Friday I had yet another scan and a blood test and, as I knew it would, there was still no follies so the clomid hadn't worked. The doc then said to take 100mg from that day...don't wait for period cause it probably wont come naturally anyway. So I've now taken another 5 days of clomid 100mg on each day. I have a scan Friday to see if it worked. I really hope it does, I want to be UTD like you guys! Trying to keep positive, and I'm pumped becasue of all of your good news!

Talk soon,
Bec

Hi Bec

Im really sorry about the clomid not working this round, but I think it's a really good thing that your doctor has finally upped your dose because that can make a massive difference & take heart that the clomid didn't even make me ovulate until I was on 175mg & then I got pregnant that cycle so there is certainly still lots of chances for you. Has your doctor ever prescribed something like provera in order to bring your period on, it might be worth mentioning because once I took that & got my period & then started the clomid I think it made a big difference as compared to starting the clomid without a period? How are you feeling though, any side effects from the higher dose? Keep your chin up & stay positive & im certain it will all work out for you, giving you a big hug:hug:. Hope it all goes well on Friday & please let us know how it goes, we'll be thinking of you.

Hi all you preggy ladies!

Just a quick note, I had a scan today and I have a 9-10mm follie! Yeah! I have another scan Tuesday and they said by then they should be able to induce ovulation if that hasn't happened yet. I'm feel positive this month...but not too much, just not feeling down.
I'm glad all of you are doing well, and progressing as you should. Kell- I have got primolut which is like provera, but he said don't waste the good lining I have, which I didn't have last time when I m/c.
Anyway, have a good weekend everyone.
Bec
p.s. stejan- how did the scan go?

Bec - That's great that there is a follie!! Definitely a step in the right direction!!

Nic - I know what you mean about the sore bbs!! Seriously...I have been sleeping in a bra! I'm also still so tired, and unfortunately I started having some mild morning sickness about a week ago...and still feeling the same everyday....

Kel - Hope all is well with you!

AFM - My scan went well. They took measurements and I wasn't quite as far along as I thought (only about 5 days difference which just means I o'd later then I thought!) But everything looks good so far! I was only 6 weeks so they couldn't hear the heartbeat yet, but she said she saw the flicker, and I go back on Monday for another scan to make sure they are dating it correctly. Looks like I'm due Feb. 8!! Very excited! And now that I had a scan I know everything looks good so far and everything is where it should be we are going to tell my family this weekend!!

Hey there, I'm new to all this but I have concieved naturally before but having trouble now, I have pco and on clomid second dose of 100mg, I'm yet to start the 100mg but just wondering how long does it take to fall pregnant and I heard the risk of having a boy is higher not that i mind I just wanting to know some more answers about clomid

Mandi - Welcome to the thread...it definitely depends on the person as to how long it takes to become pregnant with clomid. I'm sure you have seen the statistics that most women do within six months of using clomid. I myself fell pregnant on my second cycle with clomid at 150mg, but I don't have any other issues. I was just using it to get ovulation going because I was on the pill for so long, so maybe that has something to do with why it worked for me so quickly. I also ovulated on my very first cycle with it. I really think everyone is different though.

AFM - I had another scan yesterday because they wanted to be sure they are dating things correctly. I am seven weeks and am due on Feb. 8!! We also got to see AND hear the heartbeat!!!! I couldn't believe we got to hear it so early on, but it was definitely there at 133 beats per minute. Very cool...and such a relief. Now I am on a schedule of having a scan every four weeks. So far so good. No spotting, but I have been feeling terrible. I can't wait to be finished with the first trimester so I am officially in the "safe zone", but also so this constant feeling of sickness will go away!!!

thanks for your reply but i suppose i need to wait and see, will elt you know if i have any side effects.

Hi Guys

Mandi - Welcome to our thread. Im not sure what the actual statistics are with falling pregnant on clomid but I can tell you that a lot of people I know have success stories so the odds are pretty good. I have severe pcos & was trying to conceive naturally for 18 months before realising I wasn't ovulating at all so I was put on clomid starting at 50mg. Mine took 4 cycles to even induce ovulation but on that cycle I got pregnant which was lucky, but that was on 175mg of clomid. There is quite a few ladies on this thread who have fallen pregnant in the first few rounds on clomid so hopefully you have the same success :pray:. I've never heard about clomid producing more boys before, that's interesting, maybe we'll have to check that when all the preggie ladies on this thread have their bubs!

Stejen - How exciting is the scan, even when they don't look like a baby it's facinating, I loved seeing that flashing on the screen which is their heartbeat & hearing it, it's really comforting isn't it? How come you have to have a scan every 4 weeks? Hopefully your morning sickness gets better & not worse, hope all is going well & keep us up to date on all your exciting news! ;)

Bec - Soooo??? Any news, i've been waiting to hear from you about your folie & whether they were able to induce ovulation when you went on Tuesday? Is that what is happening most times, is that you are producing eggs but your body isn't dropping them because I had a friend who had that & they gave her injections to force the body to drop the egg & she was pregnant in 2 months? I really have everything crossed for you, you deserve a break & hopefully this is it!:crossfingers:

Nicole - How is everything going with you & the little peanut, any exciting news or developments? So is the scan coming up on the 8th July to date the bub & make sure all is good with the heartbeat etc? How are you feeling, have you told everyone yet?

All is pretty good with me so far, im starting to get quite uncomfortable though as the back is aching & my sleep is interupted etc etc, you know the deal! Im growing overnight too which is kind of incredible & I worry about just how much bigger I can get hehe. Got my gestational diabetes test coming up in about 9 days so hopefully that's all clear & I see the obstetrician again for an appointment in that same week, im 25 weeks tomorrow!

Hello People,
